tato mūlaphalaprāyaṃ pāyasaṃ madhusarpiṣā | āstīke bhojayedū rājan dadyāccaiva guḍaudanam ||
次いで、王よ、アースティーカ（Āstīka）に関わる誦読／儀礼の折には、婆羅門たちに蜜とギー（澄ましバター）を加えたパーヤサを供し、その中には果実と根菜を多くすべきである。さらに後、グダ（黒糖）を和えた甘飯を施しとして与えよ。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches dharmic conduct through respectful hospitality and charity: on sacred occasions one should offer pure, wholesome food to brāhmaṇas and follow it with dāna, emphasizing generosity, reverence, and ritual propriety.
Vaiśampāyana instructs the king about the proper observance connected with Āstīka: feeding brāhmaṇas with honey-and-ghee rice-pudding rich in fruits and roots, and then giving sweetened rice (jaggery-rice) as a charitable gift.
